Perspective

Perspective Read the world differently
at the new home of independent journalism. Try one month free Our aim is not to so much to report, as to report back.

Around 1420, by means of a ‘peep-hole’ and mirror, the entrepreneurial Italian master-builder, Filippo Brunelleschi, demonstrated the principles of perspective view. Six centuries later, Perspective acts as both society’s peep-hole and mirror: a lens focused on the great issues of the moment whilst simultaneously surveying and reflecting our views on them. This is what makes Perspective unique, and the reason that in 2020 we are the country’s fastest growing current affairs title.

AI is already blurring the line between human and machine creativity. When judges couldn’t tell the difference between real poetry and AI-generated entries, it sparked a bigger question: if machines can create like us, what happens to the meaning of creative work?

Frustration with U.S. politics has reached a strange point.

Some people are starting to wonder if an economic crash is the only thing that would wake voters up. It’s a bleak idea, because when the economy hurts, ordinary people feel it first.

But when nothing else seems to change minds, the conversation can go to extreme places.

Do you think economic pain actually changes how people vote?

We spoke with Chris van Tulleken, author of Ultra-Processed People, the book that changed how Britain talks about food.

From ultra-processed products to poverty, policy and power, he argues this isn’t about personal failure, it’s about a food system designed this way.

“If you got rid of poverty you’d solve 40–60% of the obesity problem.”

This isn’t a willpower issue. It’s structural.

For decades, politicians have promised to “stop the boats” while quietly relying on the labour that keeps the economy running. Fear makes good headlines. Facts make inconvenient policy.

Migration isn’t a glitch in the system. It’s part of how the system works.

Maybe it’s time we demanded honesty over soundbites.

Can chaos be the secret to creativity? What do you think?

In a world obsessed with speed and suffering, Édouard de Pomiane wrote about something quietly radical: pleasure. His cooking wasn’t about complexity or performance, but about paying attention, to time, memory and the small acts that make life feel richer. A reminder that even the simplest meal can be an escape, a comfort, a feast.

We keep talking about the 2020s as if excess was inevitable, but history doesn’t repeat cleanly. Instead of rebellion, there’s retreat. Instead of jazz-age noise, there’s a low, constant hum of fear. Maybe this isn’t a failure of joy, but a reflection of a world that feels too fragile to be careless in.

We’ll rally to save one sheep, yet ignore the quiet loss of birds, insects and habitats across Britain.

Our countryside isn’t truly wild, it’s shaped by how we farm and what we eat. Rewilding isn’t the threat it’s made out to be; continuing as we are might be.

Can food security and nature coexist, or are we choosing not to make space for both?
